Tips To SurviveDivinity Original Sin II is a difficult game that eagerly punishes your mistakes in combat or even when talking to NPCs. With so many factors to consider as you explore, it can be tough to survive. To help newcomers to the series, we`ve gathered nine tips to know before you set off to Fort Joy, and into the world of Rivellon.Be sure to check GameSpot often for our full review of Divinity: Original Sin II.
